Protecting Your Peace OR Avoiding the Hard Things

About this episode

Kandia Johnson discusses the difference between protecting your peace and avoiding difficult situations, offering a mindset shift for managing pressure.

“Protect your peace.” It’s a phrase I keep hearing. I’m even guilty of repeating it, but sometimes what we call protecting our peace is really just avoiding something we don’t want to deal with. In this episode, I share a powerful mindset shift about what it really takes to protect your peace, because pressure isn’t going anywhere, even when you think life is going great, but how you show up inside that pressure can change everything.
